build Appimage for Debian
chrisWith opened this issue · 9 comments
Hello,
it would be great if I could use this app also for my linux debian distro by making this as an appimage for example. This would be helpful for almost every linux distro.
Here is the link how to build appimages:
https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit
The developer made also a video on how to make it:

Thanks @probonopd, it's simple enough with a nice example script so that I quickly did it myself: 01b178c.
Here's the binary from master: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LiaVX8WRrOXZtzkxtb0xla5Qo78e6E5X/view?usp=sharing
Let me know if it works.
Thanks @bkueng. Would it be possible to compile this on the oldest system it can be compiled on, e.g., Ubuntu xenial? Right now it is not working e.g., on Ubuntu 18.04 because it was compiled on a system newer than that.
Ah, I was not aware of that. Is it the libc version that matters?
I'll look into it.
Yes, libc and any other dependency lib. You can use a system like Travis CI if you don't want to install another OS version on your local machine. Check out the example at https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt#using-linuxdeployqt-with-travis-ci.
Hi together, I did a test in ArchLinux and it works fine. But on MX-Linux (Debian) and Solus-Linux it did not start.
This one is built with Ubuntu 14.04 (via docker): https://drive.google.com/open?id=11K9W33GdMbjqVI1ZXrWGnm-Iylxco3Cd
Runs for me on Ubuntu 18.04.
